Women's Sweaters

Made in the Aran Islands off the West Coast of Ireland, Aran sweaters are steeped with mythological status. Traditionally the wives of the islanders knitted them to protect their fishermen at sea, but these days anyone can wear them. They are a true Irish Classic, representing Irish heritage.
It is believed that each stitch pattern symbolises something- the honeycomb stitch is the symbol of the hardworking bee, the diamond is a wish for success, wealth and treasure, and the cable pattern for safety and good luck. It is said that each family had their own unique pattern so that when a fishermen was lost at sea, he could be identified.
